In the title compound, C13H8Br2N2O6, the 2-furyl ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.002 (2) Å. It is inclined at an angle of 33.94 (9)° to the benzene ring. Both nitro groups are slightly twisted away from their attached rings; the dihedral angles are 4.6 (2)° between the nitro group and the 2-furyl ring, and 13.72 (19)° between the nitro group and the benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along [110] and [10] via two pairs of intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, displaying R22(10) ring motifs.

1-(p-Nitrophenyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propen-1-one (0.01 mol) was dissolved in glacial acetic acid (25 ml) by gentle warming. A solution of bromine in glacial acetic acid (30% [w/v]) was added to it with constant stirring till yellow color of the bromine persisted. The reaction mixture was kept aside at room temperature for overnight. Crystals of dibromopropanones separated out were collected by filtration and washed with ethanol and dried. It was then recrystallized from glacial acetic acid. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from 1:2 mixtures of DMF and ethanol by slow evaporation.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.93–0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.70 Å from Br1 and the deepest hole is located at 0.53 Å from Br2.
Nitrofurans are class of synthetic compounds characterized by the presence of 5-nitro-2-furyl group. The presence of nitro group in the position-5 of the molecule conferred antibacterial activity (Holla et al., 1986). A number of nitrofurans have attained utility as antibacterial agents in humans and in veterinary medicine because of their broad spectrum of activity (Holla et al., 1992; Holla et al., 1987). 1-Aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propyn-1-ones were prepared by the hydrobromination of 2,3-dibromo-1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propan-1-ones in the presence of triethylamine in benzene medium. The dibromopropanones were in turn obtained by the bromination of 1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propen-1-ones. Acid-catalysed condensation of acetophenones with 5-nitrofuraldiacetate in acetic acid yielded the required 1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propen-1-ones called
(Rai et al., 2008).In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the 2-furyl (O2/C10-C13) ring is essentially planar (maximum deviation = 0.002 (2) Å for atoms C11, C12 and C13) and is inclined at an angle of 33.94 (9) ° with the phenyl ring (C1-C6). Both nitro groups (N1/O3/O4 and N2/O5/O6) are slightly twisted away from the attached rings [the dihedral angles are 4.6 (2)° between nitro group and 2-fury ring and 13.72 (19)° between nitro group and phenyl ring]. Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and comparable to a related structure (Fun et al., 2010).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked into one-dimensional chains along [110] and [1-10] via pairs of intermolecular C2–H2A···O5 and C12–H12A···O3 hydrogen bonds, displaying R22(10) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995).

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cyrosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Nitrofurans are class of synthetic compounds characterized by the presence of 5-nitro-2-furyl group. The presence of nitro group in the position-5 of the molecule conferred antibacterial activity (Holla et al., 1986). A number of nitrofurans have attained utility as antibacterial agents in humans and in veterinary medicine because of their broad spectrum of activity (Holla et al., 1992; Holla et al., 1987). 1-Aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propyn-1-ones were prepared by the hydrobromination of 2,3-dibromo-1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propan-1-ones in the presence of triethylamine in benzene medium. The dibromopropanones were in turn obtained by the bromination of 1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propen-1-ones. Acid-catalysed condensation of acetophenones with 5-nitrofuraldiacetate in acetic acid yielded the required 1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propen-1-ones called chalcones (Rai et al., 2008).
In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the 2-furyl (O2/C10-C13) ring is essentially planar (maximum deviation = 0.002 (2) Å for atoms C11, C12 and C13) and is inclined at an angle of 33.94 (9) ° with the phenyl ring (C1-C6). Both nitro groups (N1/O3/O4 and N2/O5/O6) are slightly twisted away from the attached rings [the dihedral angles are 4.6 (2)° between nitro group and 2-fury ring and 13.72 (19)° between nitro group and phenyl ring]. Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and comparable to a related structure (Fun et al., 2010).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked into one-dimensional chains along [110] and [1-10] via pairs of intermolecular C2–H2A···O5 and C12–H12A···O3 hydrogen bonds, displaying R22(10) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995).
